Insurrection in Berlin Leo crushed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebellion

'insurrection' is the definition.
(I know that insurrection can be written as rebellion)

'berlin leo crushed' is the wordplay.
'crushed' is an anagram indicator.
'berlin'+'leo'='berlinleo'
'berlinleo' with letters rearranged gives 'REBELLION'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for rebellion that I've seen before include "insurgence" , "Rising" , "Uprising" , "Insurgency" , "Defiance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
